Each congregation will host their own worship service in the evening the week of November 2nd. We will host ours on Tuesday, November 4th at 7 p.m. We hope you’ll attend this service of prayer and bring a friend. Veteran’s Breakfast—November 8, 7-10 a.m. Free breakfast honoring all veteran’s and their families will be held in the Lovell Building on November 8. Come and enjoy the brother/sister hood of being a veteran and sharing with families. This event is sponsored by New Creation Church of New Castle. Harvest Brunch—November 15, 9-11 a.m. The United Methodist Women are hosting a potluck brunch for women of all ages. Bring a pumpkin dish (unusual ones encouraged) for the potluck along with your recipe. A sign-up sheet will be available starting November 1 in the Lovell Building, so that we have a variety (not all pumpkin pies). After brunch we will put together a small pumpkin cookbook. Along with the fellowship shared, you will have the opportunity to make a small pumpkin or squash centerpiece to take home! A business meeting will follow for those who wish to stay. Thanksgiving Service—November 23, 7 p.m. This year we will hold a Thanksgiving Prayer service on Sunday night, November 23rd. We hope you’ll join us as we remember those who will not be with us during Thanksgiving, and think with great joy on the great tradition of thanking God for our many blessings. The choir will sing at this service and you won’t want to miss it. We hope you’ll make time to join in prayer and worship.
